The one thing necessary is to be stripped of our vanities --
the sense that we possess any spiritual wisdom -- and
to surrender ourselves completely to the guidance of our Guru.
The Guru only knows what will lead us towards perfection.
We are quite blind to it. We do not know anything.
This sort of humility will open the door of our heart for spiritual truths.
Truth will never come into our minds so long as there will remain the faintest shadow of Ahamkara (egotism).
All of you should try to root out this devil from your heart.
Complete self-surrender is the only way to spiritual illumination.
